Using technology as advantage, modern guests search for hotels and accommodations on Google before starting their journey. Later, they book their stay with hotel through travel sites or hotel website. Now Google gives you a chance to capture these book-now moments with advertisements of your hotel.

'Amidst plenitude of measures you take to increase your bookings, take a look at what Google has to offer with its Google Hotel Ads program.'

Google has come up with a commission based program called Google Hotel Ads, helping hotels capture direct bookings induced by guests' search results.

When you enroll in this program, Google will display your hotel ad in guests' search results. Thus, the guest can see your room rates, amenities and more details right in Google, from where he can visit your website and book directly with you. You will need to add a Booking Engine in your website to collect those bookings.

When planning on investing for your business, it's only natural to compare the options you have before calling out on the final decision of purchase. Especially when it comes to an extensive system like a channel manager, you need to ensure that you are getting the best of it in the industry.

'We've been there, we've done that. That's why we can guide you.'

A couple of months back, Italian government mandated nation-wide hoteliers to send guest details to public administration. And since then they are expected to consolidate guest flow data and submit to Italy's National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT).

'We value your time, that's why we build systems that save it for you.'

Identifying critical need for a system to generate these reports, eZee engineers quickly built a provision to automate it. Our cloud based PMSgenerates monthly Guest Statistical Model Report in just a few clicks for hoteliers to send to ministry. This report contains details of arrivals, nights spent by residents/non-residents at the property and more. Moreover, eZee PMS generates daily Public Safety Folio as well to be sent to Italian police, which covers details of daily registered guests.

Thus, once again the system has proven to be time and effort saving, while eliminating cumbersome hassle of manual reporting. eZee has previously developed such region-compliant functionalities for hoteliers of Panama and Iceland too.
